Bakeries · Digital marketing
Put the right cake in front of the customer at the moment the occasion is planned.
Digital marketing for a bakery is the set of listings, posts, ads and messages that put your cakes in front of nearby customers when an occasion is coming up. GullySales decides which of those channels earns a place for your bakery and connects each to a pre-order.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What digital marketing means
Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For bakeries
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The shop is open but the profile says nothing”
A customer checking at night finds an old photo, no menu and no delivery area. They message the next bakery that shows its cakes.
“Every channel is run, none is measured”
A bakery posts on Instagram, boosts a post, lists on a delivery app and keeps a profile. Nobody has noted which of them led to a pre-order, so effort is spread evenly across all.
“Festival demand is a short window”
Diwali, Christmas and Valentine's orders are decided in the weeks before the date. Marketing started on the day lands after the kitchen is full or the customer has chosen.
“Digital attention must end in a baked order”
A reel with views and no ordering route produces nothing for the oven. Each channel needs a path to WhatsApp, a call or a pre-order form.
What we do
What we deliver for bakeries.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Channel plan for the bakery
A short plan naming which of Google, Instagram, WhatsApp, delivery apps and paid ads fit this bakery, and which to leave out for now.
Result: The owner knows where effort goes and why.
Profile and listing clean-up
Name, address, hours, menu, photographs and delivery area set the same across the Business Profile, Instagram and any delivery app.
Result: A customer sees the same details everywhere.
Occasion and festival campaign calendar
A calendar of campaigns for birthdays, weddings and festivals, with a pre-order cut-off built into each.
Result: The kitchen is not taken by surprise by demand.
One ordering route per channel
Each post, ad and listing points to the same WhatsApp order message or form.
Result: Attention converts into a message the bakery can answer.
Order-source report
A summary of which channel each pre-order came from, measured against the baseline agreed before the work began.
Result: The owner sees which channel earned its place.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

- 3

One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

- 5
Measure as one campaign
Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.
Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
